Editor's note: This is part of a series of Rangers player outlooks for the offseason. SportsDay Rangers insider Gerry Fraley breaks down how each player did in 2017 and what to expect going forward.

JOSE TREVINO

Position: Catcher

Size: 5 feet 11, 211 pounds

How acquired: Selected in the sixth round, with pick No. 186 overall, of the 2014 draft. Received a $200,000 signing bonus.

Major league service time: None

Contract status: Club has him under control through 2023

2017 recap: For the second consecutive year, Trevino won a Rawlings Gold Glove as the top defensive catcher in the minor leagues. He had only three errors and three passed balls in 857 2/3 innings with Double-A Frisco. Trevino moves well from side to side behind the plate and has a quick release that makes up for average arm strength. He threw out 33 of 80 runners for a 41.3 percent caught-stealing rate. The heavy workload under a tough climate may have caught up to Trevino on offense late in the season. He hit only .204 with five extra-base hits in 108 at-bats after July 31.

2018 outlook: The Rangers prefer that Trevino play regularly at Triple-A Round Rock and be ready if needed in the majors. Trevino has the assertive, take-charge personality that teams want from a catcher. Those intangibles and the defense suggest that Trevino will be at least a back-up at the major-league level. The development of the bat will determine if he can be a starter.
